The world’s changed professionally and personally as we’ve all been challenged to change how we live, work and socialize. None of us are the same now that a pandemic has shown us a new normal. People are focused, hopeful and concerned about their jobs. To retain your team and talent and grow business, you must understand the effect change has on staff or risk losing them to a competitor. People want to work and bring with them tremendous knowledge and much needed skills.
Addressing this, and other employee concerns openly will increase recruitment efforts and retention, grow productivity, lower stress/burnout and health issues, as well as strengthen important communications.

Change comes in many forms. Sometimes, it’s organizational change or health concerns. Or, it may be uncertainty in our industry, supply chain disruption, more competition.

Plus, change can provide additional learning, inclusion, higher retention and advancement.

It’s a leader’s responsibility to help their team navigate change with the least amount of drama, tension and fear.
